Wanna take a field trip? How about the Tweed Valley, Scotland

I posted blogs about Ireland. Northland Ireland. England. And just two measely pictures of Scotland.

The most beautiful part of the trip.

We got to Scotland in the blogging world, and I seem to remember some sort of medical traumas and upheaval so I never got to give Scotland the credit that Scotland was due. It has bothered me since.

If I (Scotland) had hosted me (Val), and I (Val) had raved throughout the entire countryabout how great it was, I (Scotland) would want me (Val) to rave to my (Val) adoring fans. Ok, fanS might be a stretch--meaning my mother and some old buddies from my past.

My Long Overdue Ode to

The Tweed Valley,Scotland

(insert bag pipes here)

It was such a beautiful place that
I have nothing to say. Just enjoy the view

In 1907-08, my great-grand Uncle George Anderson served as a photography missionary for the Mormon Church. His "calling" was to photograph all the important church history sites throughout the United States. His photographs are now recognized far and wide throughout the world.
I, 106 years later, completely by heavenly design, have been called as an official Church Service Photography Missionary. I have retraced his photography journey, step by step. I followed his meticulously kept journal, photographing the same locations on the very same calendar day...my own "mini" mission. So, I load up "Mrs. Fun", the bright yellow Mini Cooper my sweet husband bought for this very reason and hit the road....won't you come along?
